Matthew 5:32
But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery—that is, drives her into it in case she marries again.
and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced—for anything short of conjugal infidelity.
committeth adultery—for if the commandment is broken by the one party, it must be by the other also. But see on Matthew 19:4-9. Whether the innocent party, after a just divorce, may lawfully marry again, is not treated of here. The Church of Rome says, No; but the Greek and Protestant Churches allow it.
Same Subject Illustrated from the Third Commandment (Matthew 5:33-37).
